Hello dear, Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by a poxvirus. In the genital area, it is often classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI). From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is viewed as a Visha (toxic) or Krimija (parasitic/pathogenic) skin manifestation involving a dominance of Kapha and Vata doshas. ​ ​Ayurveda treats such viral growths by focusing on Raktaprasadana (blood purification) and Ojas (immunity) to help the body naturally expel the virus. The goal is to dry out the lesions (Lekhana) and prevent auto-inoculation (spreading by touching). ​ ​To address the viral load and skin health, the following protocol is typically suggested: ​Guggulutiktaka Ghritam : Take 1 spoon twice daily, 30 minutes before food with warm water. This helps in “drying” viral growths and purifying the blood. ​Pinda Tailam (External): Apply a very small amount to the affected area after a bath. It acts as an antimicrobial agent and soothes the skin. ​Vilwadi Gulika: Take 1 tablet twice daily after food. This is a potent anti-toxic and anti-viral formulation used specifically for skin infections. ​Do not shave the genital area while lesions are present. Shaving causes “autoinoculation,” creating micro-tears that spread the virus instantly. ​ Avoid scrubbing the area with towels. Pat dry gently or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. Use a separate towel for the affected area and wash it in hot water after every use. ​If possible, keep the bumps covered with a small bandage or medical tape to prevent the virus from touching healthy skin or spreading to partners. ​ Squeezing or picking the “pearly” center releases a highly contagious waxy material. ​ Wash the area with water boiled with Neem leaves (Azadirachta indica) twice daily. Neem is a natural potent antiviral.
